D: Hawks kick rear end, fly, are fast, make cool noises and are apex predators. Plus, they are certainly tied to air magic, which everyone knows is the best magic. What's not to like?

H is a terrible idea and likely to get us no sweet magic loot. Also Divination is usually nerfed by GM fiat because otherwise it's OP. So F, I guess. Madness is neat.

I could also be persuaded to vote D. Hawks and air magic are cool.

A seems really cool, and I'm going to take these magical otherworldly beings at their word when they say there's a boon granted, and take something.

One thing at the time. You don't know if putting an item down will do something and you don't know if taking an item will do something.

I do not think that we're 'thanking them for their gift,' though I'm still voting for H.

I do think that giving them our blood is intensely dangerous, though.

At the moment, I'm thinking that choosing to sacrifice our blood will either: bind us permanently in service of the overseeing djinn, sacrifice our ability to have children, or just straight up kill us.

Furthermore, our pure and virginal blood is barely worth much of anything, if our conversation with the Naiad is to be believed. We'd be better off giving a gift that actually holds personal value, rather than immediately springing for the evil blood magic route.

Exactly! Since there are no wrong answers, we should go for a "high risk high reward" move and make an offering of our blood. We have Seijin's word that nothing can go wrong with this.

Not trying to sway your vote here, but CYOA is one of the few game mediums where Divination can be used to good effect.

Cut loose before the god eaters show up.
Game show host: Choose from one of these six doors and you win the prize behind it.

Goons: Aha! What's that seventh door there?

Game show host: That's the door you came in through.

Goons: Perfect! I smear my blood and feces on the door in the symbol of the Elder Sign. Surely this will claim dominion over the hidden prize.

Game show host: *sigh*

Edit: I know it's not a direct comparison. It's even possible this is a test. But let's get got before we go flipping tables looking for gotchas in our arcane dealings. Everything we've experienced so far of the mystic arts has been pretty straightforward.
